DICE [26]
The atmosphere looked tense on the 45th floor of Falcy Building. Maverick didn't say much, just looked around as the place suddenly filled with men in white robes with peculiar headpieces. But that was a sign that they were not ordinary folks from all corners of Metro. They were all special individuals working under the Great Gideon's umbrella. Supervising and directing everything the rulers of Metro needed to do. If they violated, there would be consequences, and Horratio would be the one executing the punishment. His whereabouts are currently unknown to them all.Gideon the Great, a tall and large man with a pointed head covering. His eyes as blue as the sea, with a firm jawline. Sitting cross-legged with one hand supporting his head. His eyes staring sharply at his interlocutor; Maverick Osmond."What are you going to talk about, Maverick."Maverick smiles slightly. "What do you need today, sir? I feel like there's nothing to discuss."Gideon the Great nods slightly. His eyes lazil

Dice's advice might sound ridiculous to Gala, but it surprisingly works. It works like a charm. Selena is now sitting next to Gala in the back seat. Gala can't drive, so instead of causing trouble, he chooses to hire a driver to take Selena to Vore Club. Selena's eyes light up as she sees the latest model car parked in front of her house."Sorry, I can't drive," Gala says, awkwardly scratching his neck. "So, I hope you don't mind that I asked someone to drive my car.""You... didn't learn to drive?" Selena questions.Gala quickly thinks on his feet. "Uh... you know, I'm, um... busy. Yeah, that's it. It's because I'm busy. And it feels too tiring to drive after coming home. Or maybe I just prefer taking the fast train.""You're right," Selena smiles sweetly.Since the day they accidentally bumped into each other, messing up her report, Gala had to reorganize it when she got home. That annoying guy. But turns out, he followed her and apologized in a way that made Selena finally accept i

"What's this?" Gala asks, looking puzzled as Selena hands him a black card with the golden Vore Club logo. It looks elegant and luxurious. Gala notices a prominent microchip as he touches it. Meanwhile, Selena snorts in annoyance."You really don't know anything, huh?"Mike quickly interrupts Selena. "He's still too naive, Selena. You can teach him about Metro North later."In response, Selena chuckles. "Is that so? Oh well, I don't mind. I prefer if you don't know too much, Gala. I like it."Gala still doesn't understand where their conversation is heading, but all he can do is grin. His eyes are fixed on the card he just received from Selena."This is a classic member card, or the lowest caste at Vore Club. Well, Gala, you know, I don't have enough money to get an exclusive membership, but getting from classic to platinum in Vore Club is very difficult."Gala's eyes suddenly light up. "So, with this card, I can enter that beautiful building?""You call Vore Club beautiful?" Selena l

Bellamiee combs her hair to avoid it getting too tangled. The hairdryer she uses is making her hair flutter in all directions. This has been her umpteenth time showering since Alex's return two days ago. Looking at the mirror's reflection, the silver-haired man is still sound asleep. There are no outdoor activities today. That's enough. The storm is terrifying for Bellamiee, and she feels better jumping off the balcony and being mauled by Alex's dogs than facing the storm again.When she complains, Alex laughs at her. That's after Bellamiee feels not too scared and has finished participating in activities that the man likes. Also, Bellamiee will always remember not to provoke someone like Alexander Millian no matter the situation and condition. Even though her heart rebels and screams in fear, needing warm hugs from... Alex?She gently places the comb she's using down. Her eyes focus on the figure that stole her sanity earlier. She observes for a while but has no desire to move closer

"How's my look, Dice?"The holographic girl now glowing with bright blue light, looks at her master with a broad smile. She approaches, carrying a device tucked into the collar of her black shirt. "Make sure it doesn't come off, sir," she says."I'm asking about my appearance, Dice. Not for you to give me these weird gadgets again," Gala complains but doesn't resist when Dice tidies up his appearance."What do you want to hear?"Gala's forehead wrinkles. His eyes scrutinize Dice, who stands not far from him. The girl has no expression other than a stiff smile, commanding and thoughtful. She rarely laughs unless it's for certain things. "I want to hear the truth from you, Dice.""I never tell lies, sir." Dice steps back a few paces. Dinner tonight is intentionally not too elaborate because Dice is confident that later, inside Vore Club, her master will have dinner first with Selena. "Today, sir looks much handsomer than usual. You look really cool wearing black like this. Your haircut

Throughout this journey, Selena keeps glancing at Gala, who sits calmly beside her. Mike, who is holding the steering wheel, can't figure out how Selena, who is not easily approachable, was easily persuaded by Gala's invitation. Ah, Mike forgets what Gala brought as his attributes. The latest model car, a good-looking, even handsome face, and his appearance that looks even cooler. Mike admits that Gala wins from various angles.Perfectly matched with Selena tonight."Oh, Gala. Before we have fun, can we have dinner first? Enjoying the view of North Metro at night?"Gala turns and smiles slightly. "Sure. You show me the place.""I've already made a reservation." Selena chuckles softly. "You just relax; we got a strategic spot for a pleasant dinner."Gala nods slowly. His eyes are back on the road leading to the building he visited this morning. From a distance, the focus of white lights is on the black-themed building. Making it look the most elegant and luxurious compared to the surro

Who knows, during his journey to find and save his mother, Gala also thinks about his father. Although it's difficult for Gala to sympathize with his father. Perhaps because Gala's memories of Xavier are very few and not too sweet, that's why Gala doesn't like to talk about Xavier too much.Back at that casual dinner, Selena soon invited Gala to enter the bar. Selena was the one who warned Gala not to get drunk, but guess what? If only Dice could come out of the die, perhaps a string of curses would have been uttered for Selena, that shameless girl. According to Dice, Selena is quite repulsive as a woman. Openly hanging onto Gala, who looks even more handsome with his appearance tonight. Dice remembers how Selena's face almost drooled at the car parked in front of her house when he picked her up.Oh my.Women are all the same, thinks Dice. She wanted to warn her master to be careful, but really, Dice does need Selena's presence. It feels so unlucky."She's so heavy," Gala complains wh

Not once or twice did Gala look back to where he left Selena and Mike. But Dice kept urging him to walk fast. Whatever she had on her feet, her pace became faster. Or was there something in her shoe soles? Yet Gala's mind was left with these two people he just met. What's their fate? Will they get caught?"Don't worry, sir. They're safe," Dice says while continuing to manipulate her system. Alexander didn't take it lightly, blocking everything she did earlier, although for a split second, she got information about Bellamie Rosaline. Everything has been secured in a file that is not easily penetrated."How can I be calm, Dice? After so many troops headed to that room?" Gala grumbles in frustration. He looks back again. Nothing visible except darkness. He also doesn't know where his glasses are that showed the direction he had to take."I'll give you the final description of both of them later, sir. Let's cross that valley first."Gala stops for a moment. "Valley?"Before he finishes as

"Maverick!" Alex yells, where his sword has been pulled perfectly. Repelling the sudden and quite brutal attack because these big cats are very different from the animals that have been showing the way to this strange forest. Where pine trees that used to look dense now begin to shift or not, who knows. In Alex's eyes, everything seems to be moving away as if bringing them to a fairly large but rocky place.The sky is still as dark as Alex knows. His sword swings several times, pressing the cat to retreat, but it seems their strength is immense. Alex fights against almost four animals, which have very long fangs. Their orange eyes and hisses are terrifying. Alex is sure that if he gets bitten by those fangs anywhere on his body, it will result in a deep wound. Moreover, if these creatures are mythical, it means the injuries they cause can be severe."Try not to get bitten," Alex says loudly. His sword swings again to hit one of the heads of the creature that suddenly jumps to attack h

"Okay. Forgive me. I don't know why you keep saying that I'm careless because I want to throw away the die. You owe me too much, Cathleen.""I know." Cathleen smiles thinly. Her eyes again stare at the link of their hands. "We will live long while holding hands like this, sir. Trust me. The time waiting for you won't be long. And when that day comes, I'm sure we'll all be happy together."Actually, Gala doesn't want to release the girl's grip, but once again, Cathleen's gaze is so convincing. "How long?""Be patient.""How long, Cathleen?" This time the question is so firm because Gala is not a person who likes to wait for a long time, it turns out. Especially when it comes to Cathleen. The question receives a wide smile from Cathleen. She closes it with a sweet kiss as a farewell before she really releases the link of their hands."Do many things with the people who love you, sir. I think the time waiting for you won't feel long."Gala blinked slowly."And never, ever intend to throw

Gala blinked repeatedly. He even woke up with very slow movements as if savoring the moment. In front of him, Cathleen stood with her sweet smile. The color of her face looked fresh. Her blue eyes were lively. Not to mention... oh my! Gala could hardly believe his own eyes."You... you... real?"Cathleen sighed loudly. She walked with a bit of lifting her somewhat bothersome dress. "Actually, I haven't finished my task. Why are you so careless!"The young man stood silent, motionless, with his eyes fixed only on Cathleen, who was now approaching."I've often said that this die can't be handed over. It has a special authentication code regarding its owner. When you intend to discard it, negative energy comes out just like that. And do you know what happens?"Gala is still confused. "Wait, wait! Don't say things I can't digest so quickly.""When are you going to respond to all my statements?" Cathleen grumbled to herself. She carefully took the die hanging around Gala's neck. Her lips s

Gala coughs violently. The pain in his back makes him suddenly breathless. He falls to his knees with a grin that still doesn't want to diminish even a bit. How could it diminish when he repeatedly had to hit trees or large rocks around him. The die still can't be touched again and emits a stronger blue light. Gala still remembers the first time they met in that corridor. The blue light... bright but also makes his heart quite comfortable. But this time, the blue around the die is different.Which Gala eventually realizes, the blue light comes from the hologram girl's projection. The original color of the die itself is a not-too-bright orange, not dazzling, but always makes Gala excited. Somehow the die has a way of being near Gala, but that's what the young man feels."Return," Gala whispers softly while wiping the corner of his lips slowly. The intention to throw away the die as far as possible seems to have to be reconsidered. What he is experiencing now seems to be a protest from

Xavier's earlier remark makes Maverick chuckle. "If you're joking, you should pay attention to your surroundings. If you leave my body there," Maverick points quickly, "What will happen to South Metro without me?"Xavier remains silent. He starts thinking about how to cross this seemingly endless chasm, except for the dangerous fog and steep rocks. He never knew there was a black panther guarding East Metro. He should have asked who this big cat really was before deciding to follow it. Ah, it's all because of Maverick who casually requested the big black cat for this Gala search.For some reason, his heart is restless, and everything revolves around the dice. He feels that the dice did something to Gala, and that fear is proven. In front of him is no longer the forbidden forest where the end should be a twin hill, one of its slopes slightly sloping. Indicating the border with North Metro, but what he sees is no longer what he imagined. Everything looks very different.He has lived for

Moreover, until that moment, his whereabouts were unknown. And now, for some reason, what really happened and what he went through made him even more curious."What do you want to ask, Alex?"The sturdy man is quite surprised to hear a question from Xavier. When he turns, the man next to him just laughs."Your head is so noisy."Alex blinks slowly. "Don't tell me you know what I—""You guys are too noisy," Xavier quickly interrupts, then his eyes turn to Maverick, who is still enjoying his cigar. "Especially you, Mave.""You know, I do love talking. My mouth feels cramped just being silent like this all the time. Luckily, the cigars I brought have enough stock until tomorrow." Maverick only glances briefly. "I'm sure whatever's in my head Alex won't be easy for you to share, right? So don't bait us to pressure you to speak."This time, Xavier laughed. "I still can't find the right correlation about your relationship with Gala. Has my son often visited you guys?"Both Maverick and Alex

The last trace of Seth's troops deliberately following Gala ends near the Netland village border. One of the quite remote villages but is one of the most popular tourist destinations for residents of North and South Metro. Most tourists come from both Metro regions. The village is still surrounded by evidence where snow perfectly covers its peaks, but it gets the most sunlight. Strangely, the warm light cannot make the hilltops melt. Only pine forests that still grow lush and maintain their authenticity.For this search, Seth was asked not to join, although the man insisted. But what Jiro said was true. At least for the next few days, Seth shouldn't leave the White House, especially when his heart is still uncontrollable. Losing Cathleen must be a severe blow for him. Kyler, who came earlier, also agreed with what Jiro said. Choosing to accompany Seth in this city center.Actually, for Xavier, this search is not too necessary. He is sure Gala is fine. Even if this search needs to be d

"Have you seen Gala?" Maverick has been quite curious about the young man since earlier. Since that news came, he hasn't wasted any time. Seth Rafael can't be lying, but after hundreds of years? What really happened? And how can this young man seem to know the girl in the white coffin very well? Maverick is not blind to notice that some people, including Xavier, seem very affected by this event.As far as his memory goes about the battle that took place between all of them and Gideon, there is no leader of the regions who did not survive. Everything returned to normal despite suffering some injuries. Only Gala. Yes, only that young man didn't come back. Xavier, who last met the young man, did not answer any of Maverick's questions about the whereabouts of his son. As if they were hiding something, but Maverick didn't understand.They returned with a lot of questions, which also made Mave and Alexander agree to search for the whereabouts of the young man.
